Abstract

In this paper we describe the parallel application of a novel two level
additive Schwarz
preconditioner to the stable finite element solution of
convection-dominated problems in
three dimensions. This is a generalization of earlier work, [2,6], in
2-d and 3-d respectively.
An algebraic formulation of the preconditioner is presented and the
key issues
associated with its parallel implementation are discussed. Some
computational results
are also included which demonstrate empirically the optimality of the
preconditioner and
its potential for parallel implementation.
